Fix & Flip Investing
Buy undervalued Central Florida properties, renovate, and sell for profit.
Fix-and-flip investing involves purchasing a property below market value, renovating it to increase its worth, and reselling it for a profit — typically within a few months. Central Florida’s strong buyer demand, steady appreciation, and abundance of older housing stock make it one of the best markets in the country for flipping.
Jonathan Fitzgerald helps flippers identify properties with the right combination of location, condition, and profit potential. From spotting the deal to pricing the finished product, having an agent who understands both the acquisition and resale side is a decisive advantage.
How It Works
Find the Right Property
Jonathan sources undervalued, distressed, or off-market listings in high-demand Orlando neighborhoods where renovated homes sell quickly.
Run the Numbers
We analyze the After-Repair Value (ARV), renovation budget, holding costs, and target margin so you buy at a price that protects your profit.
Renovate Strategically
Focus your budget on the improvements buyers pay for — kitchens, baths, curb appeal — without over-improving for the neighborhood.
Sell for Top Dollar
Jonathan markets and prices the finished home to sell fast, minimizing carrying costs and maximizing your return.
Key Benefits
Fast Returns
Well-executed flips can generate significant profit in months rather than years.
Strong Buyer Demand
Orlando’s population growth keeps renovated homes in high demand across price points.
Forced Appreciation
Strategic renovations let you create value rather than waiting for the market to deliver it.
Repeatable Model
Once you master the process, flipping becomes a scalable, repeatable business.
Important Considerations
Accurate ARV and renovation estimates are critical — mispricing either can erase your margin.
Holding costs (loan interest, taxes, insurance, utilities) accumulate every month you own the property.
Profits held under one year are generally taxed as ordinary income — consult your tax advisor.
Reliable, licensed contractors and realistic timelines make or break a flip.
